"Wei Dongjia, it's really a thriving business!" Mrs. Zhu's hearty laughter was as good as ever, and she walked in with two little maids: "This entire capital is now your family's most prosperous business!" ”

"Madame, please take a seat!" Qingwan hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, thinking to herself: According to the dose, Queen Zhu's medicine should have been taken for several days, but she only came to pick her up at this time, something should have happened.

Mrs. Zhu sat on the chair very casually, and the man was busy serving tea, and said with a smile: "There is no good tea, but this water is the snow on the plum blossoms I picked a few days ago. Madame was accustomed to eating good tea, so she tried to change the taste. ”

"You clever man does nothing differently." Mrs. Zhu admired in her mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Sure enough, it's mellow!" The grapefruit white fungus paste I brought back last time, how many people are vying to ask for me, and I am not willing to give them a little! ”

"If Madame likes it, I'll make some more and send it to the house," Qingwan smiled: "It's not a valuable thing, I also collected two cans of this snow water, and asked Madame to bring one back when I went back." ”

"Then I'm not polite!" Mrs. Zhu said briskly: "We are all straightforward tempers, and at first sight, these things can't be obtained anywhere else even if we spend money, so I accepted it!" ”

Lu Xiufang personally served two plates of dim sum, Mrs. Zhu didn't care too much, smiled and said a few words to her, and went straight to today's topic: "Miss Qing, are you free today?" Thanks to your prescription, the queen's illness has been much better, and she is also a lot more energetic, but she has not completely removed the roots, so she is waiting for you to enter the palace again to diagnose the pulse. ”

Qingwan showed a reassuring smile: "As long as the queen mother is healthy, it is the blessing of the world." I don't know when to enter the palace? ”

"It's now." Mrs. Zhu stood up as she spoke: "The car is outside, so let's go?" ”

"Madam, I have a reluctant request," Qingwan said busily, "I hope Madame can fulfill it." ”

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zhu was slightly surprised.

"It's my sister Xiuwan," Qingwan said with a smile: "I have never entered the palace, I always think about being able to see what the palace is like, and I whisper in my ear every day, so I beg Mrs. to give Sister Xiuwan a chance and let her go in with me to have a look." ”

"Oh, that's such a trifle." Mrs. Zhu relaxed: "It's nothing, just let Miss Lu get dressed too, let's just go in together." Don't worry, I've got you! ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Xiufang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.

Mrs. Zhu smiled slightly, and had already gone out first, and the two of them were also busy dressing again and getting into the carriage.

On the way, Mrs. Zhu said in detail: "Your medicine really works, we were a little worried at first, but the queen mother took two doses, much better, I also had a dry cough the night before, and I couldn't sleep well, since I took this medicine, I can sleep peacefully at night, and my mother's spirit is also better!" When I saw it, I said that you owe it to your high medical skills, otherwise, relying on those imperial doctors in the palace, I don't know what to do with my mother! ”

"That's the blessing of the queen's mother," Qingwan said with a smile: "The imperial doctors are also extremely high, but they don't dare to take medicine, so they have delayed it so far." ”

"This is exactly what the people in the palace can't help themselves. Miss Qing is not an outsider, so I won't hide anything from you. What you have seen with your own eyes, even the queen mother, the mother of the world, and the middle palace, is still like this, let alone others? Mrs. Zhu said, sighing deeply.

Qingwan didn't dare to take it easily, but Lu Xiufang was straightforward: "What's the point of living in the palace?" It's better to be outside, free, and able to do something that pleases you, which is the best! ”

"Sister! In front of Madame, he is still so open-mouthed! Qingwan hurriedly stopped.

"It doesn't matter," Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "I like Miss Lu's temperament, in fact, this is a good thing, my children always say the same, you coincide." ”

"Really?" Lu Xiufang blinked in surprise: "There are still people who say the same thing as me?" In the past, whenever I said this, my father and third brother would discipline me for disobedience, but I didn't expect Young Master Zhu to be like this? ”

Qingwan couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, think everyone else is like you, heartless?" ”

"That's really good," Mrs. Zhu still smiled kindly: "My child, he has been a stubborn character since he was a child, don't talk about me, even his father can't control him, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, so people are worried endlessly!" Now that he is on the front line, I don't know if I can experience it, but I hope he will come back safely and grow up, and his father and I will be able to be steady. ”

Originally, Qingwan would not have mentioned this secret war, but Mrs. Zhu said it so frankly, so she tentatively asked again: "Does General Zhu have any news on the battlefield?"

At that time, Lu Yanyi said that within 10 days, news of the war would come back, and after pinching his fingers, eight or nine days had passed.

Mrs. Zhu shook her head, and her face became heavy: "Not yet." It's been almost ten days, and there is still no news at all. I don't know what happened to this kid?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhu, who has always been cheerful, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Madam don't worry," Qingwan hurriedly comforted: "I heard Xiufang's second brother say that General Zhu Xiao is smart and clever, and he will definitely be able to save the day." Perhaps the news of victory will come soon. ”

"Although the war with the Turks is secret, I think Lu Gongzi has already told you," Mrs. Zhu whimpered, "I have nothing to hide." If this child has to volunteer, I can't stop him. Even his father said that a good man has ambitions in all directions, not to mention that children like ours have a mission from the moment they are born, and they can't escape. What can I do? I'm in my forties, and I only have this one son in my life, and if he really has any strengths and weaknesses, I won't be able to live! ”

"Madame, don't think so," Qingwan comforted: "A smart person like General Zhu Xiao will not have anything, and on the day of victory and triumph, Madame will be happy when she looks at it!" ”

"I wish it was as you said." Mrs. Zhu reluctantly wiped away her tears: "Miss Qing, I don't treat you as an outsider, so I will say anything to you." For the past few days, I can only keep it in my heart, and you know that this war is not known to outsiders, and my lord has also told me a thousand times to not let me leak out. Who do you want me to say to this stomach grievance? Thanks to you, I can listen to me and say a few words from my heart. ”

"Madam, I know all your thoughts," Qingwan said, "What mother doesn't care about her children?" But I can guarantee that General Zhu will be fine. ”

Before Mrs. Zhu could speak, the carriage stopped gently. Mrs. Zhu trembled slightly: "It's here so soon?" ”

Lu Xiufang couldn't hold it anymore, lifted the corner of the car curtain, and sure enough, there was the majestic palace in front of her, she immediately became excited, but she didn't dare to show it too much.

Mrs. Zhu took a deep breath, the maid who was in the car had already handed over the hot towel, Mrs. Zhu wiped her face, touched up her makeup in the mirror, and confirmed that there was no problem, before taking Qingwan and the two of them out of the car.

It's still the same path as last time, with a little eunuch leading the way until the middle palace.

Qingwan was not surprised because it was the second time, although Lu Xiufang also lowered her head, she peeked around from time to time.

Today, the round fan is already waiting for them at the gate of the palace. Because of the alleviation of Queen Zhu's condition, she also had extra respect and enthusiasm for Qingwan, and before she could wait for the door, she made a salute: "Wei Langzhong, Niangniang has been talking about you for a long time." ”

"Sister round fan, don't be polite," how dare Qingwan slack off? Busy also smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister seems to have lost weight." ”

"Isn't it the recent snow disaster in the capital?" The round fan led them inside: "Not only is the emperor worried in the previous dynasty, but the queen mother is also not idle in the harem, and she has to go out of the treasury and silver, and she has to tighten the expenses of the palace. Rao is like this, and the villain, always chewing the root of his tongue, complaining about this, complaining about that, it really makes people angry! ”

"Is it the one from Zhaoyang Palace again" Mrs. Zhu subconsciously asked, and before she could finish speaking, she was put her finger to her lips by the round fan and made a stop gesture: "Madame, be quiet!" If someone hears it, it's another right and wrong. ”

Mrs. Zhu regretted her words and hurriedly covered her mouth. Qingwan remembered that she had heard Lu Yanyi say that Concubine Su lived in Zhaoyang Palace, so she must be talking about her?

A little palace maid had already lifted the curtain, the round fan went in first, and said with a smile: "Back to Niangniang, Wei Langzhong is here." ”

"Why don't you come in?" It was still Queen Zhu's soft voice.

The three of them greeted the queen together, and Queen Zhu still held a book in her hand, put the book aside at this time, sat up and said with a smile: "Give me a seat." Wei Langzhong, this palace wants to thank you this time, since taking the medicine you prescribed, this disease has been cured by eight points, if it weren't for the fact that you can distinguish the syndrome and treat it, in the hands of those imperial doctors, I am afraid I don't know how long it will be delayed. “

"This is the mother's blessing." Qingwan smiled, while raising her eyes to see Queen Zhu's complexion, she had indeed improved a lot, although she was slightly haggard with traces of tiredness, but most of her sick appearance had disappeared.

"Who is this girl?" Empress Zhu was slightly surprised when she saw Lu Xiufang sitting below.

"Oh, this Miss Lu is the sister-in-law of Wei Langzhong," Mrs. Zhu hurriedly explained: "I brought it in, presumably the queen mother will not blame me." ”

"It doesn't hurt." Empress Zhu glanced at Lu Xiufang, and quickly regained her tolerant smile: "How old is Miss Lu this year?" ”

Lu Xiufang hurriedly got up and replied, and Queen Zhu smiled again: "Can you kiss?" ”
